To mrs. dheeraj
Looking onto the ingredients I thought it would be the best,but unfortunatley it totally turned up really bad.I prepared exactly as per the prepration formula.Any how I don`t want to discourage her.Keep on finding and exploring new ideas in cooking.Wish you all the best.My comment is it would be better if you could improve in your cooking.
